Got this as a Christmas gift from my mom when I went down to LA. It was surprisingly cold there! My boyfriend scowled at me every time he felt cold because I told him So-Cal would be pleasant. I blame global warming for an unusually warm Bay Area December, and a frighteningly cold December LA.

I felt like a checkerboard wearing this coat. Or, as my friend astutely pointed out, a Ba-Duk board! (Chinese/Korean strategy board game with black and white marbles… I don’t play, so that’s all I know about it)

I have lint allllllll over my sweater dress. And some crumbs. How do you keep tiny dusty particles off of your knit blacks without carrying around a lint roller in your purse? Maybe that’s just what I need to do…

Coat #2 coming later today ;)

The last photo was taken another day at the LACMA. Frolicking inside of one of RIchard Serra’s installations. No photography allowed. Woops~
